very very interesting where did u find
[/COLOR]also, on the classic wow cd box theres a pic of some dwarf and a warlock(?) all 60 i think fighting a mob in dun morogh theres also a big dragon in stv whats that all about?

I believe, before the birth of ZG, there used to be a world dragon in STV that was moved to Duskwood when ZG was released. I know I remember running into emerald dragonkin exploring STV a few times.

Actually, all dungeons could be entered with 40 people in a raid group. You dropped raid group in order to get quest items and got invited back. People used to run it with 10, 20, 30 and 40 people. Blizzard changed that because they didn't want that content to be that trivialized.

Made me search some old screenshots of me playing the American closed beta...
Not all are features, but some stuff might me fun to know about anyway.

* Max level in the beta was lvl 39 (since lvl 40 introduced mounts i guess)
After you could reach 39+ all your gear was reset and you got some gold send
to you for buying new equipment.
* Infernals were guarding resticted area's (the ones under depelopment) blowing
you up when you came near them. they were called "Guardian of Blizzard"
* Each region had his own trade channel were you could link items and they were
sold to the highest bidder in that channel. (imagine Barrens-chat )

Some real features:
* Mechanical Squirrel looked like a normal one
* you didnt have recently bandaged and bandaging wasn't being pushed back (i think).
so this was basically a warrior's gift
* you could have Capital letters all over your name. like: LeeTKidOmG

* SouthShore VS Tarren mill was the first "real" BG ingame
* AV was released after a while as the first "really real" BG
* Honor point system was introduced a bit for AV and had a different way of given honor (ranks back then).
They changed a lot to this system over the years... so things i can recall:
- Your rank was determined by your contribution of killing the other fraction or being in a group that killed
- Later some estimates were given, but it was still guessing if you pvped well enough to advance in rank
- insert lots of other changes here...

I remember getting boosted in Uldaman, because a level 60 had to get to the enchanting trainer
I remember when you had to stay in the capitols so you could be in the LFG-channel and find grps for instances... and then you had to fly from place to place, and run the last way

I remember doing my Q for the epic paladin mount... the boss in DM, and the boss-event in Scholo... amazing and epic!
